Today was Big Ted's birthday and it coincided with a chance to see my niece before she went away again.
I found a suitably funny card for Big Ted involving flatulence which made him roar with laughter. Toilet humour has always been his forte.
I managed to raise another laugh when I imparted my story of the day whereby my arm had become a little too familiar with a hot cup of tea and the offending receptacle and it's contents were spread across my trousers, shoes and the lift floor! The culprit's face at various points during the meeting was a picture as he repeatedly apologised for his misdemeanour :-)
Back on the birthday theme I had, with one thing and another, been unable to spend the promised day shopping with my niece to make up for her not being here for her special day. She departs tomorrow so it's an opportunity missed but before I left she proudly gave me her e-mail address and mobile number so I promised to get in touch to find out what she wanted.
Chelsea won to see them through to the semi-final of the UEFA Champion's League which topped off a really good day for all these reasons and much more.

12 Years!
Here's wishing my Niece a very happy birthday! I cannot believe that it has been 12 years since she was born. I can remember the day as clearly as if it was yesterday.
I was woken early by Mum with the news that I had become an Uncle. T's daughter was born early in the morning after a labour that had started at midnight. In what has become the norm in recent years, she was leaving hospital to be taken home at 10:30.
A few days earlier I had been watching a video of Jack Dee where a particular gag centred around the birth of his first child. At it's funniest point Jack is perplexed to find that his firstborn emerges into the world looking blue! This had stuck in my mind and I spent the whole day at school wondering whether I would discover a blue niece when I finally got to meet her.
Obviously she was a beautiful pink bundle lost in her father's arms as I walked into the flat. I remember being stunned by her paper thin fingers and in awe of how small yet perfect she was. Distance prevents me from sharing today with her but when she comes over we will get together and head for the shops.
